Farmers Fixture

By Darcy Ballentine

Industrial Design
Xavier High School - Year 11

The farmers fixture is a handcrafted light product, made from repurposed farming wastes and materials. My ultimate objective was to bring new life into discarded resources.

Created from a historic wooden Headlie Taylors Crop Lifter (invented 1915) and combining repurposed materials of chicken wire, bolts, washers and chain sourced on our family farm near Brocklesby NSW.

My rustic light fixture balances the raw materials to produce a rustic light designed to be installed inside or outside, elevating the sophisticated relaxed ambiance of the room.
